White flies doing what they do….
Catching a lift on aphids….. wonder when the ants will show up - and then the ladybugs, it’s like it’s spring, only it’s not, maybe it’s an aphid baby, I’m getting old…
April & Sept are my crazy work months, 80+ hour weeks, have already gotten so much done this month but now decided to properly level far back, tear down some original fencing to open up, have 15 tons or so of stone that was put down a decade ago to shovel & pick up & move (nightmare work hence my years of procrastination) & then still some finishing work on the new Cold frame (which turned out awesome, kids & wife already trying to claim it for things to do in there non farming related)
Just got first order of sand delivered (7 tons) - pricing still reasonable for my quarry connect, - 14,000 lbs to the driveway for under $300 - no complaints here; he did mention though Covid hammered his business hard so now only Stone & Sand as he can’t find the help to run the Topsoil, mulch & compost business anymore so I need to find new connect for that - gonna cost me 2X I can feel it already…
One Area getting graded
New GH mostly done
Tore down all this fencing & posts (farm jacks are your best friend - it was there as entire back & fenced area you see now wasn’t developed when first put in, overflow from original barn construction -
7 tons, small load but it’s a couple hundred foot wheel from the driveway to far back so good day of work
Nights have been crazy dew lately, look at this BF sun even down - I chopped a couple plants, few still going
